Meanwhile, at the bank:

I picked this up during the Steam summer sale and it was a hoot. I've become aware of some good games that I never would have played otherwise because of this community! ❤️

Understandable. It is, after all, a vital ingredient in cole slaw.

Oh buddy, I have whipped. Why mayo, btw? Kind of random. I approve.

Huh. I didn't know you could access that from Battle.Net. I had a pirate copy on CD at release, but eventually bought a legit copy. I thought I downloaded it from their website. Battle.Net was only for WoW.

But what if the quality of writing in modern mayonnaise is so bad and inconsistent with mayonnaise of yore that you have developed mayonnaise intolerance? Also, this mayonnaise vendor has done a lot of scummy practices over the years, from not paying the mayonnaise makers a living wage to covering up sexual harassment and abuse of said mayonnaise makers. I guess what I'm saying is "fuck mayonnaise".

But why

Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

There were always three topics that would start a fight on Reddit:

1. Nuclear power
2. The care and feeding of a cat
3. Any mention of driving less than 500 mph in the fast lane

I feel like this one goes in the third bucket. Be better than Reddit, Lemmy.

Will the recent performance gains they found in Windows be realized in Linux as well? I read somewhere they found like 9% in a recent Windows driver.

Unknown Worlds saying "no loot boxes" is like a cereal company saying "we don't plan to add any mice to this batch of corn flakes". I, uh, never thought you were going to?

As usual, money ruins everything.

I've been using Aurora which is an immutable distro based on Fedora. It's from the same guys who do Bazzite. I use it on my work laptop with a discrete Nvidia card. I've had zero issues with the video driver. (I use Bazzite on two desktop and a laptop at home, all with Nvidia cards).

I really like these universal blue distro because on the odd occasion that I have an issue after an update, I can reboot into a pinned working version of the system. There are only a couple of CLI commands to learn to pin and unpin the different systems. All currently available systems appear on the grub menu. It's kind of brilliant IMO.

Only downside is that installing RPM packages isn't recommended, but I've found pretty much everything I need through flathub. I have one RPM package installed for VeraCrypt (no flatpak and it doesn't work right in a container) but it hasn't caused any issues for me.

Edit: I should say I can't speak to the ongoing driver issues on the 50 series cards. The newest card I own is an RTX 3080 LHR 12 GB.

These kinds of posts always give me anxiety that someone would take a magic marker to their cat for fake Internet points.

Not that this is the final word on the matter, but it is perhaps hopeful that a plurality of voters are strongly opposed at present.

I've had a regular issue on Linux for months where Firefox gets into a state where every open tab crashes when I interact with it (or the tab crashes immediately if I open a page in a new tab). Restart would fix it for a while, then the problem would come back. Started evaluating LibreFox last week and have been problem free so far. If it doesn't do anything weird, I may make it my new daily driver.

And not with anyone at Hasbro that Larian worked with, because Hasbro fired them all.

Wow. This takes me back. I've got a copy of this on floppy somewhere.

I'm sure this will be along any day now. 💀

I was super cranky with 3DMark on NYD 2025 and left them a nasty review:

It's a Pride miracle! Welcome back SLRPNK...? 😄👍🌈

Played the Steam demo this weekend on Bazzite with RTX 3080 LHR (12 GB). Performance started off fine but started hitching over time.
